- True Flight Golf manufacturers a popular shaft for golf clubs. Its trade secret is a unique process for weaving high-tension wire into the center of the shaft such that energy is accumulated during the swing and released at impact. A specialized machine costing $3,000,000 is utilized in the manufacturing process. The machine has a 3-year life and no salvage value. True Flight uses straight-line depreciation. During the year, 25,000 shafts were produced, and the company was operating at full capacity. $700,000 of wire was used during the year. For the following year, if the company acquired an additional machine to enable production of 40,000 total units, what would happen to the expected total and per unit variable and fixed cost?arrow_forwardFutura Company purchases 80,000 starters from a supplier at $9.90 per unit that it installs in farm tractors.
